As the neonate's body is delivered, _______ replaces the fluid in the lungs as the chest expands.
Air
This term that defines a respiratory rate as high as 120 breaths per minute
Transient tachypnea (TTN)
What are the five categories that make up the Apgar Score
Heart rate
Respirations
Muscle tone
Reflexes
Color
This type of medication should be given within one hour of birth
Eye drops
This serves as the fetal lungs in utero and is responsible for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange?
Placenta
This occurs when the infant begins crying
This term describes increased work of breathing, grunting, flaring, retracting and abnormal respiratory rate
Respiratory Distress
Give this point if the heart rate is > or equal to 100 bpm
2
This medication is needed to promote biosynthesis of dependent clotting factors
Vitamin K
The placenta receives ___% of fetal cardiac output
50%
This is created as a result of chest expansion when the newborn takes its first breath
Increased intrathoracic pressure
This term describes a newborn who may have ingested something. Auscultation may reveal a mix of coarse and fine rales, tachypnea, and increased work of breathing.
Aspiration syndrome(s)
Give this point if the respirations are absent
0
This medication is recommended for all neonates regardless if the mother is negative or positive for surface antigens

Uterine venous blood pH =
7.36
The respiratory center is located in this this area of the brain
Medulla
This may result after aggressive positive pressure ventilation
